Who owns the Red Sands battery energy storage system?

Updated 1st July 2025 – The Red Sands Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), set to be Africa’s largest of its kind, has officially reached commercial close. Developed by Globeleq, which is 30% owned by Norfund, in partnership with African Rainbow Energy, the 153 MW/612 MWh project was signed off in June 2025 in Cape Town.

What is ESS & why is it important?

ESS are critical for large scale integration with renewable energy by reducing uncertainties in the generation of renewable energy and improve power system performance that supports the transition to sustainable energy systems.

What factors influence the choice of an ESS?

The choice of an ESS is influenced by factors such as energy density, cost, scalability, and the intended use case, whether for short-term grid balancing or long-term energy storage. Together, these technologies play a pivotal role in enabling the transition to sustainable and resilient energy systems.

Is there a gap between ESS and energy storage technologies?

However, many existing reviews focus only on specific classes of the ESS, leaving a gap for a holistic and quantitative evaluation. This review seeks to bridge this gap by comparing various energy storage technologies.
